3D textiles could "replace concrete and cement" in construction says Hella Jongerius

New three-dimensional weaving technologies could revolutionise architecture and lead to lighter, more flexible buildings according to Dutch designer Hella Jongerius.
Computerised looms that can produce 3D fabrics could lead to a new type of "pliable architecture", the designer said.
"Textile is the lightest and strongest construct that you can have," she said. "So with this, we could replace concrete and cement in the building industry."
Jongerius has previously created a series of 3D-woven bric
